< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the theory of yin and yang</h1>
"Su Qing Yin and Yang Should Be Like the Great Theory": The Way of Heaven and Earth for Yin and Yang, the Outline of All Things, the Parents of Change, the Origin of Life and Death, and the House of the Gods. The cure must be sought by Honya. "Su Qing , The Great Theory of the Four Qi Tone Gods": The Yin and Yang of the Four Times, the Root of All Things. Therefore the saint nourishes the yang in spring and summer, and the yin in autumn and winter, so as to rise from its roots; therefore, all things sink at the gate of growth. If you go against its roots, you will cut down its roots, and if you go against it, you will destroy its true nature. Therefore, the four times of yin and yang are the end and beginning of all things; the origin of life and death; the opposite is the birth of disasters, and from them it is harsh and sick, which is said to be the Tao. The Taoist, the saints do it, and the fools admire it. From yin and yang is born, against it is dead; from it is ruled, against it is chaotic. Reverse is reversed, which is called inner grid. "Lingshu Sickness Biography": Bright in yin and yang, such as the solution of confusion, such as drunken awakening.
